New York daily tribune no. 5168

WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY, Nov. 11, 1857.
General Denver, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to day wrote a letter to Brigham Young in reply to his communication of the 12th of September, administer-ing him a sharp rebuke for the improper manner of his administration of the Indian Superintendency in Utah. He tells Brigham Young that he has exceeded the appropriations for him by more than $31,000, and that he has no reason to complain of his drafts not being paid. General D. adds: "So far from encour-" aging amicable relations, you have studiously en-" deavored to impress upon the mind a of the Indians " that the Mormons are their friends, and the Govern-“ment and people of the States are their enemies." The rule is to withhold annuities from hostile Indians, and General Denver knows no reason why it should not now be applied to Young.
In reply to Young's objection to the presence of troops General D. says if it is his (Brigham's) intention to preserve the peace the troops will not interfere with him. He concludes by saying that the Executive has no alternative but to crush out rebellion, and that for that purpose all the powers of the Government are placed under his control. He then tells Brigham Young that his claim for double salary is against law, but that if it shall be ascertained that his expenditures were properly made he will be paid, should Congress make an appropriation for that purpose.
A number of white men having unlawfully intruded on the Cherokee neutral grounds and resisted all efforts to remove them, application has been made to the Government to eject them by force.
Wm, J. Rose of New-York, entered to-day on his duties as keeper of the rolls of the State Department
